Title: 2005 Tournament Of Champions.
Post by: fuzeman on November 21, 2005, 11:28:54 AM
It's that time of the year to find out who's the best of the best, at least of those who attend KOTHs.

The date of this years TOC is 10 December and tentatively scheduled for 6pm, GMT-5.

This time is NOT definate yet. It may shift a little earlier or later to accomodate the List of Invitees.
You will be invited if you have won either a Euro/FriKOTH or a US/SatKOTH this year. To help fill out the field any two match winners or 'Wabbits' will also be included. Decembers KOTHs are your last chance to qualify and get an invitation.

Including November's results here is the present list of people who are invited to fly in it:
[list=1]

Remember, only those invited will be allowed to fly in the event.
However, anyone is welcome to come and watch the matches through CMEye mode.

It has been brought to my attention that I am in fact human and made a mistake.
Murdr has been added and gets an invitation.

BGBMAW, you still have December to make the list. I didn't even make the list and won't be flying.
If we start with one exception where will it end? That's a Pandora's Box I surely do not want to open.

is there a good reason why past 2 tiem winners are not allowed?

Seems like there is not problem with "too many"

Post by: fuzeman on November 23, 2005, 11:08:07 PM
This years TOC will be slightly different than last years. Last year was the first time we ran it so all previous KOTHs were included. This is the first year of the more normal procedure we're going to use and only results of this year will be used to determine who's invited.
KOTH winners will be included. The Wabbits, seeing we treat them so nicely as we mercilessly hunt them down during KOTHs, are invited.

The time is tentative. The reason I choose 6pm is it's right between 3pm and 9pm our usual start times. If there is enough input the time can certainly swing one way or another. At this time there are no other events that day so we do have some leeway. If a majority of players had difficulty with the time we'd certainly adjust to accomodate that majority.

Actually Fuzeman, it would be great if the event could start a tad earlier... as 6pm is midnight in Poland... From my previous experience with SatKOTH, which starts at 3 am in Poland, I am a zombie after just a few rounds. Would be nice not to have to fight final rounds in such state of body/mind at 3-4 am. ;)

Post by: blue308 on November 24, 2005, 08:49:16 AM
also, Piterk and Lolo who are invited, live in Poland as well. I have more free time but those guys have families and probably won't make it if it starts that late. You think it would be possible ?

From the view of the list, I see this thing lasting at least a minimum of around 3 1/2 to 4 hours...............:cool:

Post by: fuzeman on November 24, 2005, 12:19:33 PM
With this response it looks like a time change might be necessary.

To me, it seems an shift earlier would be best. That allows the Euro contingent to fly before they fall asleep and it will allow US fliers to attend without haveing it interfere with diner.

Keep the info coming.  How does the normal FriKOTH timeslot of 3pm, GMT-5, work out? There are some Saturday afternoon events occasionally scheduled but as I mentioned we have the complete day so far.

We have restarted the KOTH mailing list so if you don't read the boards often you can sign up for that. Use my 'Profile' to send me an e-mail and I will include that address on it or another if you specify which you want to receive these on.

I am leaning towards a 3pm EST time as well...  possibly 4pm.

Flyboy, if you want you can pick the first ride for TOC 2005. That would be consistant with the method we use in regular KOTHs.
If you don't I'll write all the plane types on tiny pieces of papar and pick one at random.

Post by: Schatzi on November 25, 2005, 10:07:35 AM
Fuze, you could also just pick a number between 1 and 100, type .plane ### and see what you end up on the runway with.


That would save you a lot of writing and little papers.... ;)

Sshhhhhh, don't tell anyone but I wasn't going to waste my time writing all that down just to pick one plane :)
Using 1 to100 would imply I can actually count that high. How many fingers and toes does it take to get to 100?
Title: 2005 Tournament Of Champions.
Post by: BluKitty on November 25, 2005, 08:20:26 PM
Useing meathod above .. here apears to be a basic random number generator... might make 'picking' a number easier.

maybe flyboy will pick a ride and make this moot though.

Flyboy has the pick of the 1st ride in the TOC.  

IF he doesn't reply to this post, or make a pick, it's 100% fuzeman's call as to the 1st plane for the TOC.  

Flyboy???

Post by: BigMax on November 26, 2005, 09:09:06 PM

You could use what Flyboy won it in last year, vice a random pick if he doesn't post.

Just a thought...

In that case it might be the P-40B, that is what he won it in. Looking at his signature it fits.

Negative, and Clara says I need a fication. The posted list is the list of invitees to the TOC.
The KOTH list you can subscribe to is an email list that is used to send notices and reminders of upcoming KOTHs.

Actually, there are many ways to count to 100 with your fingers....

Binary for example.... you can count up to 1023 = 11111 11111
1100100 would be 100....
Binary counting (http://zeroprestige.org/craftoons/archives/final/compcount.html)

Or use American Sign Language's method of signing numbers.....

Just a quick note...

Last year, each round winner not only picked the plane, but the TIME OF DAY we flew as well.

I for one loved it, and want to do so again.

Keep that in mind.

(try to imagine the guys on the TOC list fighting it out in pitch black!)

plus.. the guns are really cool at night.

Here is the final list of Invitees to the 2005 KOTH Tournament Of Champions.
This event will be private to eliminate any possibility of non-invitees flying and causing delays. As of now no reply from Flyboy so the P-40B will be the first ride. Similar to the original TOC people will also be able to choose the time of day. The prize will be similar but not identical to last years.

It will be the 10th of December starting at 3pm eastern (GMT-5).
